Hector Moreno - AZ Alkmaar
Hector Moreno is not necessarily known for his scoring skills. He is a central defender by trade, after all. But Moreno nabbed the only goal from the European contingent on the weekend. Opportunities were limited as several players could not make the field for first-team action, but Moreno did his best to compensate for that.
